Good Points
Sound quality is decent, will satisfy most people's desires for mediocre sound.
Bad Points
Ridiculously expensive; there are many other speakers out there that give the real bang for your buck.
General Comments
To be quite honest with you, these Bose Accoustimass stereo speakers sound pretty good, especially when compared to Sony, Panasonic, and other similar brands. What most people do not realize is that those companies make notoriously bad speakers and they are not even considered half decent.
Bose does make decent speakers, but they are way overpriced and deceive the customer into thinking that he has a good audio system simply because of the high cost. Some "audiophiles" just like bashing Bose for the sake of bashing, but let me tell you this: you are wasting your money if you spend them on Bose speakers. You can get the same quality of speakers for hundreds of dollars less, or you can get speakers that sound many times better than Bose speakers for the same value. If you compare Bose speakers to other speakers that are in the same price range, that is when you will realize that Bose speakers are badly overpriced.
Then again, if you're happy with them, all the more power to you. There are people that are satisfied with eating hamburgers made from McDonalds, too. It's the name, not the quality, that you are paying for.
